‘It wasn’t long before…': Job only allowed employees to ‘clock in’ by calling on the office phone, employees retaliate by leaving 90-second voicemails every time

If you think workplace culture is bad now, imagine the early aughts! Y2k was freaking everyone out, technology was advancing rapidly, and boom ego was still at an all time high, and they were the ones still running things! Times were tough and they keep on changing. 

 

Here we have some Gen-Xers working during the turn of the century. As hourly workers, they had to clock in and out every day, which is normal. But for this company, their entitled boss decided they all had to call her to clock in, with the one phone in the office… A landline that they all had to take turns using. Which meant, if you were the last one to use the phone, it didn't matter if you were on time or not, you're now late because you were last in line. Did the boss care about this? Nope. So the coworkers decided to team up to make this boss' voicemail the most annoying place.
